Trio charged with burglary in Byram

A group of cops were in the right place at the right time to thwart a residential burglary on Hamilton Avenue, police said Monday.

Two juveniles and a 19-year-old Greenwich man were arrest after a brief chase Friday afternoon.

Several officers from the police department marine division were in transit when they were flagged down by two citizens. “The citizens related that they observed a group of youths who had broken into a residence through a window,” said police Lt. Kraig Gray. “The officers got a description and located them a short distance away.”

The burglary suspects attempted to flee, “but they didn’t get far,” according to Lt. Gray. The three suspects were detained on Booth Place.

There were people in the residence at the time, but they were unaware that the home had been entered. Several personal items, including accessories for e-cigarettes, were recovered, according to police.
